Anatolian Alevi Festival
Ingrid STITT (Western Metropolitan – Minister for Mental Health, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (09:40): On Sunday I joined the members for Pascoe Vale, Broadmeadows, Northern Metro Mr Erdogan and Eastern Victoria Mr McIntosh and the federal member for Wills in Coburg to mark the 30th year of the Anatolian Alevi Festival, hosted by the Alevi Community Council of Australia. The annual Alevi festival is a vibrant celebration of Alevism, offering an opportunity for us to learn more about the community’s cultures, traditions, arts and cuisine. It was a wonderful experience and festival, and I commend the community for putting it on.
